R.E. Wesker...(Or.. Bad boys,Bad boys.. watcha gonna Glue..?)

Found this ebay seller, selling, well , everything…!!

This could be a real Go-er…!!

Yeah its high quality 3d-printed…but, obviously scanned off of the real thing.
As such, it should fit onto the square bottomed Wesker DB blaster…!! ( i Hope).

The L-shaped nozzle wont be as strong as the solid original…but, all its gotta do, is support a Very lightweight suppressor…!

Wont put any downward strain on the barrel, either…!

I had actually thought that could have been a solution (3D printed bits) , seeing that the originals are rare as…

And then, i stumble across this…!!

Wont need a B709 for this, placing order soon.!!

Ok…
after a wait, my RE Wesker bits turned up…and, a spare set of robocop grips, for my elec gel beretta conversion…

Theyre all good…no melted, bendy bits this time…

This is the bare M92 look, to go for…

Unfortunately, the nozzle wont slide directly onto the DB M92…the body of the M92 is too wide, and the slotted retention rail/groove dont line up…

Even if i dremeled the 3d printed internal rail flat, the body of the M92 is JUST too wide…i’d have to remove some metal, from the body of the DB M92, as well…and then glue it in…

I reckon a better solution, is to use the KELe M92.
Its a rounded lower receiver, slimmer, and no groove…

The barrel fits in ,the only thing is, it kinks down as you go all the way back.
I’d have to remove a small amount of the 3D internal guide rail, right at the end…

Then it should fit flush.
It would have to be glued in, but thats going to be the case either way.

The nozzle is sturdy enough, to support the weight of a torch, it just would need some strong glue to support it all…

Being a springer, you would never really need to pull it apart, any way…it’ll be mainly a show item.

And, i’ll have the other hybrid wesker, as a working, disassembling gas model…

Which then, only leaves the slide.
This Mamba , is too nice’n’shiny to paint over…

Probably best to get a Black KEle, and do a slide swap…

The DB slides, dont fit onto the KEle’s…

Then, paint it all up, and glue away…

If i didnt want to go full permanent araldite, what would be stronger than glue gun glue, and still able to be removed…??

Oh nooooo… another Beretta? :wink: :joy:

On that slide, any chance you could use very thin double sided tape to attach it? That grips pretty well and it’s removed easily enough.

I can see why you don’t want to mess with the finish.

“B.B.B…Beretta, gives you back,
Your B.B.B…Bounce!!” ( Berocca AD) :rofl: :rofl:

See, i told you there is a reason why i have them…!!!

Actually, double sided tape could work.
That stuff is pretty strong, and defs removable…

X-force shuts 7:30 tonight, so…

Would this be fine for sanding the Wesker bits…??

1200 grit…??

If yes, ive got a reason to go to bunnings at sausage o’clock, 2morrow…!!

Yep, that’s the stuff I use. :+1:

Maybe get a roll of 600 grit too. It’s quicker getting the bulk of the ridges off, then finish it off with the 1200 grit. Circular motion with a small foam rubber block works best and leaves a better finish.

Isn’t there a Bunnings off Flinders Parade? Just up the road from X-Force? :thinking:

Just went to xforce…
NONE of the black KEle berettas, have a slide that fits…all are a bit different!!

I was hoping, they’d all be the same receiver/slide, but no…

He reccomended the easiest thing to do, would be sandblast and repaint the top slide…

May have to do that yet…could repaint slide / nozzle / Supp all the same black, so they’d match…

Ah, no joy in Northlakes :thinking:

No soup for you!

Fk it just get your H class :rofl: :+1:

Mine looked sexier than yours with the 30 rnd mag in it. PT99 real Forjas Tearass :wink:

Okay.
Mucking around, with painting the 3d printed stuff.

@DChapo might know a bit more.

Trying to get rid of the print lines, i was told…

Light sand first.

Rustoleum 2X paint and primer, one light coat. let it dry, then re-sand, as a base.

final coats, of whichever paint, you want to use.

Initially, i only used 1200 paper. It got it feeling a little smoother, but the lines still show…

After base coat / first sanding…

I tried repainting.

I thought i’d try the satin black, to see how it looks.
Not happy with the result, too ‘shiny’ , and a few blobs.
Too thick, too quick.

I’ll resand , and redo with matte black.

For the Supp, ive used 600 grit to start, then 1200 to finish.
It seems much smoother / more grit removed.

Before i paint it, i want to ‘protect’ the circumferential slot, near the muzzle.
This is going to be painted silver.
I want to keep the black paint out, to save trying to repaint silver over black.

What would you use to fill the channel, some blu tac / putty, or something else.?

The very front ( also painted silver) is easier to cover…

Funny thing, about cat H.

I spoke to the closest, local pistol club…Murrumba pistol club.

Much closer, and easier to get to, than Belmont. (less traffic / no tolls).

The problem is, they only operate certain days / certain hours…not good for shiftwork.

And, heres the kicker,… max calibre currently allowed is .38

Thats the real bummer, as it rubs out 9mm pistols…!!
Cant shoot .22 rifles there either…!!

By comparo, Gold coast pistol club was open all the time, all calibres allowed.
Very annoying…

Though, i may still join, and do my probationary 12 months time there…

So I usually will do a rough sanding with some 80 grit (depending on the print settings I use and which printer) then primer fill coat.

Depending on how thick of a coat I did I’ll use a heavy grit to start but I usually finish with 240 wet, rinse repeat if it isn’t smooth enough but usually only the once for my liking.

You want to almost completely sand down the primer to ensure a smooth surface.

Then I’ll hit it with the colour, either a rattle can or an airbrush if it’s got lots of crevasses so I don’t get runs. Then clear coat either matte or satin.

Going that fine of grit to me is a little overkill, unless you’re tryna get a mirror like finish. I’ve only ever gone up to like 420 wet, but it’s not gonna be a bad thing either just more effort/time.

Next time I paint something I’ll take some picks of my process.

Thanks.
600 is too fine, it’s taking forever to remove the paint…

Might have to go to Bunnings for some coarser paper…
That would be more effective, in removing the lines as well, not taking forever…
Thanks…

What would you use, to fill in the Chanel, to be painted silver?
Putty, or something else.?

Oh yeah sorry, umm if you’re steady enough masking tape should be sufficient.

Not sure on blutac, might work.

PVA glue could work otherwise the best option is this stuff for model painting, think it’s called liquid masking or something, got some at home but not back yet, it’s blue liquid but dries clear that you paint on with a brush and when finished peels off like PVA glue. Most hobby shops should range it.

There’s a number of different brands. Mines blue with a brush in the lid, orange bottle.

What? That’s crap. .38 is 9mm. That’s not right. .38 is more powerful than a 9mm all day. .38 is .357" projectile diameter. 9mm uses .355" projectile diameter. They are off their rocker or someone is telling you fibs.

Or are they going off power which .38 special will beat 9mm all day anyway.

Sorry bit confused as it does not make sence.

Pity about the 22 part. The Police that shoot there have 9mm anyway :person_shrugging:

I get the distance timing thing is hard to achieve and why I gave it away.
